As far as I know it's not traditional. However, compared to the 'sisters' at my school (in Massachusetts) they are, in fact, quite traditional. hahahaha but that's NOT saying much....because most, if not all, are short-haired-man-hating-social-justice-extremists where I'm from. I looked into this specific order because I'm drawn to dominican life, but I'm leaning more toward contemplative orders than teaching orders. It is an astonishingly YOUNG order though, which is great.!
